e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ladies and gentlemen the president of the United States [Music] la [Applause] [Applause] thank you very much thank you nice crowd what a goodlook group of people well we have some very very good news today and a lot of good things are happening for our country please sit down my fellow Americans This is Liberation day waiting for a long time April 2nd 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was Reborn the day America's Destiny was reclaimed and the day that we began to make America wealthy again going to make it wealthy good and Wealthy for decades our country has been looted pillaged raped and plundered by Nations near and far both friend and foe alike American Steel Workers Auto Workers ERS farmers and skilled Craftsmen we have a lot of them here with us today they really suffered Gravely they watched an anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream we had an American dream that you don't hear so much about you did four years ago and you are now but you don't too often for many years and decades even you didn't hear Too Much about our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years but it is not going to happen anymore it's not going to happen in a few moments I will sign a historic executive order instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world reciprocal that means they do it to us and we do it to them very simple can't get any simpler than that this is one of the most important days in my opinion in American history it's our Declaration of economic independence for years hardworking American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and Powerful much of it at our expense but now it's our turn to prosper and in so doing use trillions and trillions of of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt and it'll all happen very quickly with today's action we are finally going to be able to make America great again greater than ever before jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country and you see it happening already we will supercharge our domestic industrial base we will pry openen foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers and ultimately more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers this will be indeed the Golden Age Of America it's coming back we're going to come back very [Applause] strongly we're pleased to be joined on this momentous occasion by vice president JD Vance at JD thank you thank you thank you very where are you JD no that's that wasn't too hard to find I was looking you know he likes to take a lowkey attitude so it usually be sit right in front he's gaining a lot of confidence Mike is and nearly my entire cabinet is here as well as Speaker Mike Johnson who's done an amazing job and with the great success we had last night tonight in Florida we have uh a majority of seven and Seven's like a lot when we had it at one right you've done a fantastic job and many of the members of the House and Senate are with US senators congressmen thank you all for being with us we appreciate it for decades the United States slashed our trade barriers on other countries while those Nations placed massive tariffs on our products and created outrageous non-monetary barriers to decimate our Industries and in many cases the non-monetary barriers were worse than the monetary ones they manipulated their currency subsidized their exports stole our intellectual property imposed exorbitant vat taxes to disadvantage our products adopted unfair rules and Technical standards and created filthy pollution Havens they were absolutely filthy but they always came to us and they said we're violating we should pay for it it's all detailed in a very big report by the US trade representative on foreign trade barriers and I'll just hold it up for you it's available and you don't have to pay too much as I understand you'll pay nothing it's a lot of work a lot of work for something actually because it's a special it's a special book it's very frankly it's uh very upsetting when you read it when you see what people have been doing to us for 30 years this all happened with no response from the United States of America none whatsoever but those days are over let me offer just a few examples of the vicious attacks our workers have faced for so many years the United States charges other countries only a 2.4 tariff on motorcycles meanwhile th Thailand and others are charging much higher prices like 60% India charges 70% Vietnam charges 70 5% and others are even higher than that likewise until today the United States has for decades charged a 2.5 tariff think of that 2.5% on foreign made automobiles the European Union charges us more than 10% tariffs and they have 20% Vats much much higher India charges 70% and perhaps worst of all are the non-monetary restrictions imposed by South Korea Japan and very many other nations as a result of these colossal trade barriers 81% of the cars in South Korea are made in South Korea 94% of the cars in Japan are made in Japan Toyota sells 1 million foreign made automobiles into the United States and General Motors sells almost none for sells very little none of our companies are allowed to go into other countries and I say that friend and Foe and in many cases the friend is worse than the foe in terms of trade but such horrendous imbalances have devastated our industrial base and put our national security at risk I don't blame these other countries at all for This calamity I blame former presidents and past leaders who weren't doing their job they let it happen and they let it happen to an extent that nobody can even believe that's why effective at midnight we will impose a 25% tariff on All Foreign made automobiles thank you Brian I'd like to have you come up here for a second okay I just see him sitting he's been a a fan of ours and he understands this business a lot better than the economists a lot better than anybody Brian say a few words please would you thank you thank you it's a great honor to have you thanks thank you Mr President um I grew up just north of Detroit Michigan in mome County uh known as the home of the Reagan democrats my first vote for president was for Ronald Reagan I thought that was going to be the best president I ever saw in my lifetime until Donald J Trump came along um I have watched my entire life I have watched plant after plant after plant in Detroit and in the Metro Detroit area closed there are now plants sitting idle there are now plants that are under utilized and Donald Trump's policies are going to bring product back into those underutilized plants there's going to be new investment there's going to be new plants built and the UAW members and I brought 20 of them with me they're sitting right over here we support Donald Trump's policies on tariffs 100% so Mr President we can't thank you enough and in six months or a year we're going to begin to see the benefits I can't wait to see what's happening three or four years down the road thank you Mr President so what a great guy he got it right from the beginning he got it before almost anybody else this group over there they got it too and you know we won the state of Michigan we won almost all of them but we won Michigan by a lot and I want to just thank you all the Auto Workers were fantastic the teamsters were fantastic everyone was pretty good I will tell you thank you very much much I appreciate it you're going to be uh very happy very soon and you probably see what's happening with all of the not only car companies but car companies in particular see it with uh all of the ones they're moving they're announcing day in day out you're seeing it nobody's ever seen anything like that with today's actions we're also standing up for our great farmers and ranchers who are brutalized by Nations all over the world brutalized C Canada by the way imposes a 250 to 300% tariff on many of our dairy products they do the first uh the first can of milk they do the first little carton of milk at a very low price but after that it gets bad and then it gets up to 275 300% so when they're figuring what's Canada charging they say oh about 2% 3% but take a look at what happens down the road when you look a little bit it's not a pretty picture and we don't like it and it's not fair it's not fair to our Farmers it's not fair to our country and uh with countries like Canada you know we subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business in the case of Mexico it's 300 billion dollars a year in the case of Canada it's close to $200 billion dollar a year and I say why are we doing this why are we doing this I mean at what point do we say uh you got to work for yourselves and you got to this is why we have the big deficits this is why we have that uh amount of debt that's been placed on our heads over the last number of years and we're really not taking it anymore through non-tariff barriers the European Union bends Imports of most American poultry you understand they say uh we want to send you our cars we want to send you everything but we're not going to take anything that you have Australia bands and they're wonderful people and wonderful everything but they ban American beef yet we imported 3 billion dollars of Australian beef from them just year last year alone they won't take any of our beef they don't want it because they don't want it to affect their farmers and you know what I don't blame them but we're doing the same thing right now starting about midnight tonight I would say and China charges American rice farmers and over quota it's called tariff rate of 65% South Korea charges 50 actually they charge different from 50% to 53% in Japan our friend charges a 700% but that's because they don't want a selling rice another thing who can blame them Madam Secretary agriculture you great job you did on eggs by the way the egg prices came down 50% you got them down 50% once we got involved they were going through the sky the egg prices they were going through the sky and uh you did a fantastic job now we have lots of eggs and they're much cheaper down about 59% now and they're going down further uh we charge 2.8% for so many things that other countries are charging 200% 300% then 400% for if imposing tariffs and protective barriers made Nations poor then every country on Earth would be racing to eliminate these policies and China would be the first online they run a very strong country but uh they're not first in line and the American people are paying a very big price from 1789 to 1913 we were a tariff backed nation and the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been so wealthy in fact that in the 1880s they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting we were collecting so much money so fast we didn't know what to do with it isn't not a nice problem to have what do you think Marco good problem Marco would love that problem but uh we don't have that problem anymore but we're not going to have it very much longer I will tell you but they collected so much money they actually formed a commission to determined what they were going to do with the money who they were going to give it to and how much then in 1913 for reasons unknown to mankind they established the income tax so that citizens rather than foreign countries would start paying the money necessary to run our government then in 1929 it all came to a very abrupt end with a Great Depression and it would have never happened if they had stayed with the Tariff policy it would have been a much different story they tried to bring back tariffs to save our country but it was gone it was gone it was too late nothing could have been done took years and years to get out of that depression far longer than even FDR had that office right over there for a long period of time the ramp system that's rather intricate was built because of him and every time you walk up you think of him and he did a great job in many ways but it lasted long Beyond his terms as you know but it's not too late any longer and we're going to uh start being smart and we're going to start being very wealthy again we're going to be wealthy as a country because they've taken so much of our wealth away from us we're not going to let that happen we truly can be very wealthy we can be so much wealthier than any country it's not even believable but we're getting smart nearly a century later in the face of unrelenting economic Warfare the United States can no longer continue with a policy of unilateral economic surrender we cannot pay the deficits of Canada Mexico and so many other countries we used to do it we can't do it anymore we take care of countries all over the world we pay for their military we pay for everything they have to pay and then when you want to cut back a little bit they get upset that you're not taking care of them any longer but we have to take care of our people and we're going to take care of our people first and I'm sorry to say that and today we're standing up for the American worker and we are finally putting America [Applause] First in Sleepy Joe Biden's last year in office the United States hemorrhage 100,000 manufacturing jobs and the number was going through the roof at levels never seen before and our trade deficit reached a record $1.2 trillion which is unheard of since the beginning of NAFTA the worst trade deal ever made it was a horror show we I was able to determine it they all said you'd never be able to get it out we had to get approval from Congress to get it terminated we had to live with that deal it was a worst deal worst tra deal ever made by far but since the very beginning of NAFTA our country lost 990,000 factories think of what that is 990,000 think about putting a map up and putting tax on you wouldn't have enough room 990,000 I said is that possible we had it checked four different times and it was actually somewhat higher than that and 5 million manufacturing jobs were lost while racking up trade deficits of1 19 trillion dollar that was the worst trade deal ever made as a result of these gigantic losses foreign Nations now own $26 trillion more of American assets than American think of this than the Americans own of their own foreign assets or other foreign assets the United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick we have a tremendous problem we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick if anything ever happened from a war standpoint we wouldn't be able to to do it we import virtually all of our computers phones televisions and electronics we used to dominate the field and now we import it all from different countries a single Shipyard in China now produces more ships every year than all of the American shipyards combined think of that and it was a business that we used to dominate we used to dominate it totally in short chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem they're a national emergency that threatens our security and our very way of life it's a very great threat to our country and for these reasons starting tomorrow the United States will Implement reciprocal tariffs on other nations it's been a long time since we even thought of that we used to think about it a lot we didn't think about it for many decades and you see what's happened for Nations that treat us badly we will calculate the combined rate of all their tariffs non-monetary barriers and other forms of cheating and because we are being very kind we're kind people very kind you're not so kind when you got ripped off with your salaries my auto worker friends and my Teamster friends and all of the unions that typically voted Democrat they're not voting Democrat anymore because worker whether Union or non-worker they're for the Republicans now that's what happened but we will charge them approximately half of what they are and and have been charging us so the tariffs will be not a full reciprocal I could have done that yes but it would have been tough for a lot of countries we didn't want to do that I'd like to see the chart if you have it could you bring it up Howard this is our great secretary of Commerce Howard lutnick thanks so if you look at that China first row China 67% that's tariffs charged to the USA including currency manipulation and trade barriers so 67% I think you can for the most part see it those with good eyes with bad eyes we didn't want to bring it's very windy out here we didn't want to bring out the big charts because it had no chance of standing fortunately we came armed with a little smaller chart so 67% so we're going to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of 34% I think in other words they charge us we charge them we charge them less so how can anybody be upset they will be because we never charge anybody anything but now we're going to charge uh European Union they're very tough very very tough Traders uh you know you think of European Union very friendly they rip us off it's so sad to say it's so pathetic 39% we're going to charge them 20% so we're charging them essentially half Vietnam great negotiators great people they like me I like them the problem is they charge us 90% we're going to charge them 46% tariff Taiwan where they make they took all of our computer chips and semiconductors we used to be the King right we were everything we had all of it now we have almost none of it except the biggest company is coming in they're going to have we're going to end up with almost 40% Lee zelden's working to get their approvals and it's an amazing company Mr wayy of one of the great companies of the world actually they're coming in from Taiwan and they're going to build one of the biggest plants in the world maybe the biggest for that but 64% we're going to charge them 32% Japan uh very very tough uh great people and again I don't blame the people for doing it it's I think they're very smart in doing it I blame the people that sat right at that Oval Office right over there right behind the Resolute desk or whichever desk they chose Japan 46% they would charge us 46% and much higher for certain items like cars you know little items like cars 46% were charging them 24% India very very tough very very tough the Prime Minister just left and he's a great friend of mine but I said you're a friend of mine but you're not be treating us right they charge us 52% you have to understand we charge them almost nothing for years and years and decades and it was only uh seven years ago when I came in uh we started with China charge and we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China in tariffs and they understood honestly president shei understood he said look I understand and the other countries and they all understand we're going to have to go through a little tough love maybe but they all understand they're ripping us off and they understood it uh Prime Minister of Japan uh Shinzo was Shinzo ABI he was a fantastic man he was unfortunately taken from us assassination but I went to him and I said Shinzo we have to do something a trade is not fair he said I know that I know that and he was a great gentleman he was uh a fantastic man but he understood immediately what I was talking about I said Shinzo we have to do something he said I know that and we worked out a deal and it would have been a much better deal but frankly uh there were many years left on the deal that was made previous to my getting there but it was it was something uh if you look at Switzerland 61% to 31% Indonesia Malaysia Cambodia oh look at Cambodia 97% we're going to bring it down to 409 they made a fortune with the United States of America United Kingdom 10% and we'll go 10% so we'll do the same thing South Africa oh 60% 30% and they've got some bad things going on in South Africa you know we're paying them billions of dollars and we cut the funding because a lot of bad things are happening in South Africa the fake news ought to be looking at it they don't want to report it Brazil 10% 10% Bangladesh is 74% so you see what's going on Pakistan 58% Sri Lanka 88% so what we're doing is we're taking not the full we could take the full 88% thanks a lot he's doing a very good job how's he doing I think you better take it with you it's not going to last very long he's going to put it it's going to follow you down with the wind I brought a hat just in case it got too windy but here would anybody like a hat I'm giving I'm not giving it to a cabinet I'm giving it to the order workers come here [Applause] [Music] thank you fellas get it that's it that's it they deserve it more than our cabinet our our cabinet has plenty of hats but you see the you see the numbers the numbers are so disproportionate they're so unfair at the same time we will establish a minimum Baseline Tariff of 10% you notice that on the chart and uh that'll be on other countries to help rebuild our economy and to prevent cheating so we're going to have a minimum of cheating and we're going to be very severe on the people that at the gate that watch the tariffs and watch the product coming in because there's been a lot of uh a lot of bad things happening at the gate because the money is so enormous that you're talking about there's never been probably anything like it in terms of the enormity and there are a lot of bad things happen at the people that do the checkin and they're looking at 10year jail sentences if they do play we're going to treat them so good but if they cheat uh the Reaper cussions are going to be extremely strong foreign Nations will finally be asked to pay for the privilege of access to our Market the biggest Market in the world we're right now the biggest Market in the world we had a great country four years ago in terms of the economics we were doubling up on China we were doing so well nobody was going to catch us but so much of it slipped away over the last four years under Biden I campaigned on this policy throughout last year and today that promise was made and it was also a promise as you know that was kept promises made Promises Kept to any company that objects to our Common Sense reciprocal tariffs again reciprocal back and forth back and forth and we would I call this kind reciprocal this is not full reciprocal this is kind reciprocal but what we do is we cut it in half we charge them my answer is very simple if they complain if you want your tariff rate to be zero then you build your product right here in America because there is no tariff if you build your plant your product in America and we've seen companies coming in like we've never seen before likewise to all of the foreign presidents Prime Ministers kings queens ambassadors and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs I say terminate your own tariffs drop your barriers don't manipulate your currencies they manipulate their currencies like nobody can even believe which is a bad bad thing and very devastating to us and start buying tens of billions of dollars of American Goods tariffs give our country protection against those that would do US economic harm and many people were looking to do US economic harm maybe not uh so obviously but uh they were doing tremendous economic harm but even more importantly they will give us growth these terrorists are going to give us growth like you haven't seen before and uh it'll be something very special to watch I am so looking forward and Brian it's going to happen even faster than you said you know you might you might say but it's already started it's already started work's already uh begun on plants all around the country and you see that is before these are Big Rich companies uh we have 61 billion dollar started uh on a big plant going up it's going to be announced over the next two days and they already started work many of these biggest the biggest companies in the world they've committed to build build build we're going to build build build Sir and they came here to see me and they came wanted to know if they could have a press conference I do as many as I can I'm pretty busy trying to stop Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East we got to stop that we're going to stop the hooes which we we're making tremendous they like shooting ships down and out of the water seeking ships they get a kick out of it but they're not getting such a kick out of it now are they Mr secretary they're not getting such a kick out of that now but uh here are just a short list of some of the companies that have already announced and committed to investment and this is a company that built its factories and its plants in China apple is going to spend $500 billion do they never spent money like that here they're going to build their plants here soft Bank open Ai and Oracle great great companies are investing $500 billion dollar almost immediately Nvidia a hot company is investing hundreds of billions of dollars they just announced tsmc the biggest most important company in the world of chips from Taiwan uh with no investment from us is investing 200 billion and they said the reason was number one the the election of November 5th and number two the tariffs they don't want to pay the tariffs and the way they're not paying it is to build their plan here so we're going to go from almost no percentage we used to have 100% of the chip market now it's all in Taiwan almost all of it's in Taiwan a couple of other countries but mostly in Taiwan and uh think of it we had 100% we lost it because of people in that office that didn't do their job they allowed it to be stolen from us Johnson and Johnson great company 55 billion do Eli Lily 27 billion meta is investing $500 billion wow deac is investing 20 billion CMA CGM $20 billion and then you have MK and clarus stantis General Motors GE Aerospace Honda Nissan hyund day are all putting in billions and billions of dollars and they're committed 100% so and we have never had we've never had and this is after two and a half months this is not this is after just a short this all took place as soon as we came out with what everybody wanted to do you know I watched a gentleman today on television used to work with Le aoke a very respected automobile person and he said you know because they're asking people and they try and get as many negative people they can but they can't find them too much it's pretty hard to find terms of what we're doing especially when they see all this investment they said so tell me what do you think of what Trump is doing from the automobile standpoint he said I can't believe it somebody is finally he's an older guy real Pro really top guy with leok he said I never thought I'd see the day when this would happen where somebody had the courage to go and do what has to be done this is Transforming Our Nation our entire nation is going to be transformed not only with the cars but on every single other item that's built we're going to become an industrial Powerhouse and he he said that so beautifully today in fact I'm going to find out I'm going to get a tape and Bruce I'm going to get that tape and I'm going to send it to you out in Long Island and you're going to play it for the people and all your union workers and your non-union workers out there you got a pretty even split but we have uh so far it looks like we're going to have about $6 trillion dollar of Investments and you wouldn't do that in years in this country over the last number of years $6 trillion doll it's and that's going to be much higher by the end of the year and think of what6 trillion doll is you wouldn't have even a small percentage of that under this other system we're going to be an entirely different country and it's going to be fantastic for the workers it's going to be fantastic for everyone there will never have been a transformation of a country like the transformation that's already happening in the United States of America it's an incredible thing to watch and it's in incredible to meet with the top people people that you read about very wealthy people or people that are great managers and Executives and presidents of big public companies and to watch the enthusiasm they have now that they didn't have they gave up on our country they went to foreign countries and they built companies are pouring into our country at levels never seen before with jobs and money to follow and it's uh really beautiful in the coming days there will be complaints from the globalists and the outsourc and special interests and the fake news always the fake news will always complain but never forget every prediction our opponents made about trade for the last 30 years has been proven totally wrong they were wrong about NAFTA they were wrong about China they were wrong about the transpacific partnership which would have been a disaster if I didn't terminate it if I didn't turn that terminate that United Auto Workers you would have had no jobs in this country you would have had no jobs that was all going to other countries in my first term they said tariffs would crash the economy instead we built the greatest economy in the history of the world and again I have great respect for president she of China great respect for China but uh they were taking tremendous advantage of them of us and and I commend them for that I say hey if you can get away with it that's okay but uh you know they understand exactly what's happening and they probably most of them are saying it's about time they did something but uh and they're going to fight and they're going to fight fair everyone's going to fight you know it's like uh I I say to the leaders look you got to take care of your country but we have to start taking care of our country now we can't do what we've been doing for the last 50 years from the day of my election the stock market went up in my first term 88% with NASDAQ going up 155% more than any president has ever had in any term in office by far and I think we're going to blow that away and uh maybe the numbers won't show but I think they're going to show much better than even those numbers but what you're going to see is you're going to see activity that empty dead sites factories that are falling down those factories will be knocked down and they're going to have brand new factories built in their place they're not only talking about renovating they're talking about brand new the best anywhere in the world the biggest anywhere in the world I have a friend who builds car plants and I said I want to see the biggest and the best he said well we have to go to Mexico I said no I want to see it in the United States He said we're not building them in the this is a year and a half ago during the campaign he said we're not building you'd have to go to Mexico when I was starting to uh decide to run and I went to number one in the polls very rapidly I want to say I want to like uh let's say in the first in the first hour and then shortly thereafter it looked like I was going to win and the fake news was saying oh no don't do this what they don't know is if I didn't win they would have really been in trouble because nobody wants to read them anyway but I tell you what when I uh when it looked like I was going to win I announced that I was going to be doing exactly what we're talking about today great consistency actually because I've been talking about it for 40 years but because I saw what was happening 40 years ago if you look at my old speeches when I was young very handsome my old speeches and that people would say I'd be on a television show I'd be talking about how we were being ripped off by these countries I mean nothing changes very much the only thing that changed with the countries but nothing really changes but it you know it's why it's such an honor it's such an honor to be finally able to do this if you look at China I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in my term hundreds of billions they never paid 10 cents to any other president and yet they paid hundreds of billions so much so that Biden couldn't do anything they wanted to try and terminate it because he had a very special relationship with China you know what the relationship was he had a special Rel but the numbers were so big the numbers were so big that they couldn't do it so they did ease it up they did things that they shouldn't have done they made it a lot more comfortable for them but they couldn't do it because the numbers were hundreds of billions of dollars and I did that and uh we were on our way to doing something like incredible and then we had a very bad election happened a very bad election a lot of bad things happened so when I said we got to do it again I said we have to make it too big to rig and we made it too big to rig and we won in records and it was a Monumental win and it was such an honor to see so many of you like Brian and your friends uh here with us to celebrate and to more importantly cele celebrate what we're doing because that wouldn't be a full celebration if we didn't do this because this will be an entirely different country in a short period of time it'll be something the whole world will be talking about it the critics made the very tired predictions earlier this year but in February core inflation dropped to the lowest rate in four years and the price of eggs as you know just in a couple of in a month and a half we were there for four weeks and the first week got blamed for eggs I said I just got here they said eggs have gone up at like 250% and you can't get eggs and they were going crazy and I said I just got here and then we uh we got to work on eggs and we got to work on everything and our great secretary of agriculture you did a fantastic job Brook Rollins he did a fantastic job and as I said before the price of eggs dropped now 59% and they're going down more and the availability is fantastic they were saying that for Easter please don't use eggs could you use plastic eggs I said we don't want to do that we want to and you really came through it's amazing job thank you very much Brooke you did great but likewise an old-fashioned term that we use groceries I used it on the campaign it's such an oldfashioned term but a beautiful term groceries it so of says a bag with different things in it groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that I talked about the word grocery for a lot and energy costs now are down groceries are down gasoline is way under $3 and people are beginning to be able to buy things and live again we brought prices way down we created 10,000 already in a few weeks new manufacturing jobs and it was uh that took place in one month numbers that they haven't seen in a long time with had virtually no inflation under my term we had virtually no inflation for four years but after transitioning over over to Sleepy Joe it went from almost non-existent to the highest in the history of our country they had the highest inflation in the history of our country brought up by energy and bad spending and bad policy and a lot of bad things happened how about allowing millions and millions and millions of people to pour into our country with open borders where the uh it's so sad to see even now and I see our great secretary of you have done stand up please Christie stand up Christy gnome and Tom homman these people are doing a great job but uh got them out in records and we have problems with judges that don't want them to go out they want trenda and they want uh MS13 the most vicious gangs ever nobody's ever seen anything like it absolute killer gangs they kill people they don't even think about it and we put them out and we have judges now radical left judges that want to they don't want them to go out they want them to even be brought back let's bring them back you've done a fantastic job and please thank everybody Homeland Security thank everybody appreciate it and we now have a border that's uh the best border that uh we've ever had even better than it was my first term my first term we did good but this one we really specialized in we've done really well and we had records then we had the with the best safe border four years ago we the best border there ever was and now we have uh you've actually matched it and done even better and we're going to get it down the right way and we want people by the way to come into our country but we want them to come in through a legal process we want them to come in Legally we need more people we need people to run these plants and to help the a workers and the teamsters and the non-union people and everybody else but we need people and the farmers and we're going to let people come in but they want to come in we want want them to come in legally they have to have the capability of loving our country not people that hate our country we don't want them in our country and now we're going to pass the largest tax cuts in American history and that's where we're relying on Mike and John th and we will not cut Social Security Medicare or Medicaid benefits and the Democrats will because if they got in the entire economy would collapse this country was heading for a collapse under the people that you saw uh they were horrible I think one of the reasons people like the job I had my highest approval rate is because I think they're comparing me to the worst Administration in the history of our country so I appreciate that at least but Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader appreciate it Mike John Thun have been fantastic by the way but they've been working tirelessly on taking the next step to pass the plan for are one big beautiful Bill i' like to name it that if you can one big be I made that statement about six months ago and everybody calls it one big beautiful Bill and it will be that it'll have everything the big tax cuts and every incentive there is and it'll be uh fantastic and by the way for the cars we're asking for an interest deduction on a loan so if you build the car only in America we do it Brian if the car is not built in America you don't get the interest rate deduction but if you build the car in America if you buy a car if it's built in America then uh you get an interest rate deduction tax deduction and uh that's a big thing that's going to be a big thing I think that's going to pay for itself very quickly that deduction never happened we've never had anything like that before somebody said where did you get the idea because it's so basic you would think that would have happened a long time ago it never did and uh I'm very happy it didn't because now I can say that was my idea but we're going to get us closer to the debt extension we have to get the debt extension passed and I know you're going to be able to do that Mike and it's very important that you do that and all of the other things that the Senate budget plan gives us along with working because I know they're working together John and Mike and the two bills are going very well together we need to get our shared priorities done including certain permanent tax cuts we want the tax cuts to be permanent spending cuts energy and historic investments in defense border and so much more we're covering everything these will be phenomenal there'll be no no bill like this going to straighten one bill is going to straighten out our country for many many years to come and we said let's just do it and let's get it done and some guys will love it and some guys will like it a little bit less because they're not getting what they were exactly looking for but they're getting a lot they'll never if we get this done it'll be the most incredible bill ever passed in the history of our Congress and uh Senate and congressmen the Senators and the congressmen many of whom are here today can will be very proud of themselves I really believe that it's going to set us on a whole new prosperous path we're going to cut spending and rightsize the budget back to where it should be we're going to do that very strongly thank you Rick thank you John thank you oh look look at all of our Senators over there oh boy that's a nice group of people but I won't like them so much if they don't get this bill done that's a great group and Congressman thank you very much I appreciate it tremendous people the Senate plan is my complete and total support and the house plan likewise is very similar they're moving along pretty much at the same clip and as soon as you're ready you'll show it to me and I'm sure it'll have my support mik every Republican congressman and Senator must unify we have to unify we can't be separated we have to get it done we have to get absolutely everything we can and we have to take care of the American people that's the only thing that matters we have to take care of the American people first we need to pass this bill immediately get it done including debt extension from this day on we're not going to let anyone tell us that American workers and families cannot have the future that they deserve we're going to produce the cars and ships chips airplanes minerals and medicines that we need right here in America the pharmaceutical companies are going to going to become roaring back they're coming roaring back they're all coming back to our country because if they don't they got a big tax to pay and if they do uh I'll be very happy and you're going to be very happy and you're going to be very safe we're going to build our future with American hands with American Heart American Steel and we're going to build it with American Pride like we used to we're approaching our one 100th day as president and have been given credit by a lot of people actually even some of the fake news can you believe it which in this case hopefully is in fake for having done more in that time than any other Administration in the history of our country in the first 100 days I think we've had an amazing in terms of what we've done what we've gotten accomplished like to see if we can get that war ended and another uh war from not starting in the Middle East we have to get Russia they're losing 2,000 on average 2,000 500 people today young people soldiers Russian think of that 2,500 through some days and but on average probably over about a one week period it's 2,712 they say they're losing those soldiers they're dying they're being decimated and they're not from our country but they're from other countries but they're human beings they're from Russia they're from Ukraine in this period most of them and we're going to get it stopped it's a senseless war that would have never happened if I was president and it shouldn't be allowed to go on and I think we're being given good cooperation by Russia and by Ukraine but we have to get it stopped it's Humanity it's Humanity it's a terrible thing this will be a very uh big moment I think you're going to remember today it's going to be a free nation that we're dealing with we're going to have a very free and beautiful Nation it's going to be Liberation day in America and it's going to be a day that hopefully you're going to look back in years to come and you're going to say you know he was right this has turned out to be one of the most important days in the history of our country God bless you and God bless America thank you everybody thank you very much thank you thank you very much [Applause] [Applause] of what we're good afternoon you all we have two documents prepared for the president's signature uh today one closes what's referred to as the Dom Minimus loophole uh with respect to imports from the People's Republic of China the other is is the big one is the reciprocal tariff executive order that the president just spoke about at length
